Judging by what w3m and lynx show me, they're doing User-Agent sniffing to serve up pages. Isn't that a violation of the Geneva Convention at this point?
They have no good reason behind whitelisting browsers.
> The latest version of Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer is required
I see two browsers on a fairly fast release schedule. Do they really update their User-Agent filter on Firefox's release cycle? On Chrome's release cycle? At that point, they might as well be specifying patch levels; pick a minimum version and keep with it.
Or, you know, design a site up to modern standards, because if you absolutely need everything in the HTML5 spec to host a blog you might as well actually listen to a web dev once in a while.
Not all of us are on the iphone. I guess the audience is being selected.
